The first coin authorized by the US Government was the Fugio Cent. It pictured a sundial as the primary design and had no portrait. Most early US Coins carry an image of "Miss Liberty". The first coin struck for general circulation that showed the portrait of an actual person was the Lincoln Cent, introduced in 1909.
